This wine was first made as a tribute to Johann Christian Henschke, the founder of the family business. It was to commemorate 150 years of winemaking. 100% Shiraz from the Wheelwright Vineyard, organic and biodynamic practices are employed, and maturation is for a period of twenty months in French oak hogsheads, 10% of them new. Magenta/purple, on the nose we have notes of blackberries, tobacco leaves, cold tea, aniseed, beef stock, dusty dark chocolate and cherries. There is a touch of plushness running through the wine, which is extremely well balanced and has exceptional length, finishing with fine, velvety tannins. Intensity is maintained throughout, as is that seductive and seamless texture. Enjoy this over the next twenty to twenty-five years.
